Victoria Station

Victoria Station is a railway terminus in Westminster, London, England that opened on 1 October 1860. It was built to serve both the Brighton and Chatham main lines, and it always had a "split" feel of being two different stations. The Brighton station opened in 1860, with the Chatham station following two years later. It became popular as a London terminus, and it was a focal point for soldiers during World War I. During the 1960s, the station's steam trains were replaced by urban electric and diesel multiple unit services, and it remained a major station.
